European Official Warns: “The Whole System Will Completely Break Down… In 10 Days”

Norwegian PM Erna Solberg doesn’t want to have to skirt her country’s responsibilities under the Geneva Convention and she doesn’t want to trample over human rights either, but she will if she has to.

“It is a force majeure proposals which we will have in the event that it all breaks down,” Solberg said, in an interview with Berlingske, describing new measures she believes Norway may have to take if Sweden buckles under the weight of the refugee influx which saw some 163,000 asylum seekers inundate the country last year.

Solberg is effectively prepared to turn everyone away and go into lockdown mode should everything fall apart completely, causing Europe to descend into some kind of lawless, Hobbesian, free-for-all.

If that sounds far-fetched or hyperbolic consider that on Thursday, EU migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos warned that the bloc has just 10 days to implement a plan that will bring about “tangible and clear results on the ground” or else “the whole system will completely break down.”

Avramopoulos also cautioned that a humanitarian crisis in Greece and in the Balkans is “very near.” Moves by countries to adopt ad hoc, state-specific measures to stem the flow are exacerbating the problem, the commissioner contends.

“We cannot continue to deal through unilateral, bilateral or trilateral actions; the first negative effects and impacts are already visible,” he said. “We have a shared responsibility –- all of us -– towards our neighbouring states, both EU and non-EU, but also towards those desperate people.”

By “the negative effects,” of unilateral actions, Avramopoulos is likely referring to the bottlenecks that are leaving thousands stranded in the Balkans. The chokepoints are being pressured by a series of border fences that have been erected over the past six months and the problem is exacerbated by stepped up border checks. In short: we’re witnessing the death of the bloc’s beloved Schengen.

“Seven European states have already reinstated border controls within the cherished but creaking Schengen free-travel zone, putting huge strain on Greece, which can no longer wave the tide of arrivals from Turkey onward through the Balkans,” Reuters writes. Earlier today, Athens recalled its Austrian ambassador. “Greece will not accept unilateral actions. Greece can also carry out unilateral actions,” migration minister, Yannis Mouzalas told reporters on Thursday. “Greece will not accept becoming Europe’s Lebanon, a warehouse of souls, even if this were to be done with major [EU] funding.”

On March 7, officials will attend a summit with Turkey where buy in from Ankara is critical if there’s to be meaningful reduction in the flow of asylum seekers to Western Europe. Leaked documents recently showed President Erdogan is essentially attempting to blackmail Europe. “We can open the doors to Greece and Bulgaria at any time. We can put them on busses,” he was quoted as saying, during a conversation with European Commissioner Jean Claude Juncker and President of the European Council Donald Tusk on 16th November 2015 during the G20 Summit in Antalya.

In addition to the seven states that have already reinstated border checks, more countries have promised to follow suit unless Erdogan and Tsipras can figure out a way to make progress in defending the bloc’s external border.

Officials fear the onset of spring will embolden still more migrants to make the journey as warmer weather will thaw the Balkan route. On Wednesday, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban called for a referendum on the propsed quota system that Brusells hoped would help distribute and place refugees. It’s only a matter of time before other countries conduct similar plebiscites.

Perhaps Jean Asselborn, Luxembourg’s foreign minister put it best: “The outlook is gloomy … We have no policy any more. We are heading into anarchy.”

I read yesterday that the winter respite in new ‘refugees’ is over, they are now arriving at a rate nearly double that of last summer.

I expect major problems in Europe this year. Both between ‘refugees’ and the ability of government to deal with them, but between both refugees, governments, and the people, all at the same time. Merkel will be gone by the end of summer, I believe, and internal police forces are not going to be adequate to handle either the refugees or the people. The term ‘boiling point’ comes to mind.

Yeah baby! These guys are talkin’ MY language here! Total breakdown in 10 days! Now I ask, can you get any gloomier then that? Maybe, but not without really tryin’ hard. I’m still keeping watch for that North Korean EMP i thought was going to have hit already but I guess those mamby pamby North Koreans aren’t really interested in TRUE doom porn, we’ll see.

So exactly what would you do tough guy, throw your soiled depends at me? It’s nut jobs like you that talk big all day in between your naps. Now go and stare at the sun tomorrow so you can see Nibiru for yourself, maybe you’ll see that North Korean EMP coming right at us and YOU will have the big scoop!

Good by Europe? The US is almost 50% non-white. We’re in worse demographic straights than Europe. 52% of all kids entering kindergarten in the US are non-white. From a near 90% white America in 1965 to what we have now. “Weaponized Immigration”. You must ask yourself, to what end? Why did the social engineers do this to us? What’s their ultimate goal? Read the Rivkin Project. Not a conspiracy, it’s an open social agenda for anyone to read.

Europe may also end up with new borders being drawn. I’ve read about various EU countries that have internal tensions that go back farther then the current “immigrant” problem.

People (anywhere) don’t want their identity to be subordinated to an authority that dictates what it should be. It may appear to work for a period of time (witness Iraq) due to pressures of some sort but eventually it dissolves.

Countries that last over time have strong national identities which are built and celebrated amongst themselves; an example being China. Whether 200, 500, or 900 years ago, Chinese knew their heritage. The American Indians know their heritage. Various tribe in Brazilian jungles know their heritage. Government styles come and go but a heritage remains.

European countries each have a heritage that goes back centuries. The citizenry of European countries will not give up their heritage for the vision of whomever is in power. The clash of their heritage with that of Islam will not end peacefully. Neither will give way to the other.

Some people like to point to the USA melting pot. Yes, we have gotten along together while the country was taking in largely European peoples. Others who came arrived wanting to be American as they sought a new and better way of life.

Presently immigrants of whatever flavor or legality (or nearly any place in the world) going into their new land do not wish to assimilate but rather bring their culture with them and force the peoples around them to change and accept a “new normal.” Humanity just isn’t wired to do that and clashes result because we choose who to associate with based on common interests and needs. All the laws that can be passed won’t change that basic thing about being a human.

The cold war was worth fighting. We won. Europe turned around and pissed that victory away. Fuck’em, Let the Russians have the place.
Hope the Russians figure out that Moslems are a culture that needs to be eradicated, it will clean up nice for us.
Get us out of NATO and order the UN to move off our land. I suggest they re-locate to Moscow, a real party town.
We need to concentrate on the Americas, Africa, and Pacific rim, leave Asians to Asians. Europe is part of Asia, that arbitrary continental boarder being the Urals is BS.

I read this earlier on another site.
Well no shit your economies are struggling now and then you add a bunch of Muslimes Zombies to it what the hell did you think was going to happen??????
Bend over and Kiss your ass Go-By! You let it happen. This will happen to US next if we let it.
Sgt.

As long as my fellow Britons vote for Brexit – I’m not bothered about the EU. They have proven themselves to be inept at dealing with anything they are responsible for, like the ‘refugee’ crisis and I have no faith in them. I also do not accept that they should have sovereignty over my country.

I want my country back from them on the continent.

The flag is not Norwegian by the way – it is the EU one. Norway isn’t a member of the EU.

to hell with Europe,we need to deal with our problems here. We need to learn from Europe and get our ass in gear and prevent what is happening here. Europe is done lets save what is left of this country.

protect us oh Lord from the fury of the Norsemen Old mid evil prayer. Some where buried deep in layers of PC crap is the old norseman who cleaved his enemies with an axe. Alexan6der used a sword on his knot and solved the problem. for no go zones tanks are understood by the Saracens. They speak tank very well and understand it perfectly. All they want is your land your women and to replace your religion and customs You can keep the contents of the outhouses. How can they b5e so spineless?_

“The curse causeless shall not come.” Responsibility for this massive crisis falls in large part upon president Obama. The US egregiously violated international law trying to overthrow Syria’s legitimate government. The United States is legally and morally in the wrong to be sticking its nose in Syria’s business. It is a violation of international law, it is a violation of the United Nations Charter. It is an act of war. We murder people in foreign lands to defend the dollar, and, a declassified email sent on April 2, 2011 to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reveals the invasion of Libya was launched to prevent Muammar Gaddafi from establishing a pan-African currency based on Libya’s gold Dinar. Have you seen the before and after pictures of American involvement in the Middle East?! http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-02-13/autocracy-vs-democracy-stunning-and-after-pictures-syrias-largest-city

There are two things going on here. Erdogan is sending his stealth army/occupation force into Europe via the southern Europe/Balkan route. Erdogan is also using Greece to do his bidding. It’s that second point that not many people talk about, and it’s the key to this whole situation.

Exactly what is going on with Greece? Erdogan was the one who encouraged what really is a stealth invasion of Europe by funneling all these people toward Greece. Why? Look no further than the kind of shape Greece is in. It costs money to do an effective job of verifying and processing all these people, and Greece simply does not have it. Nor do you see any of these countries who are now being over-run by this stealth occupation force doing the smart thing: pick up part of the tab for putting an effective verification/processing operation on the ground in Greece, whether that be through funding or personnel. The only thing Greece can do is rubber-stamp these people and send them on their way.

That brings us to the dynamic between Greece and Germany, which can be considered a surrogate for the EU. Greece has every incentive in the world to rubber-stamp these people all the way to Germany. Why? Germany and the EU have porked Greece at every turn, and this is the perfect opportunity to pork them back. Every time Greece rubber-stamps a passport, they bring Germany and the EU one step closer to being in the same boat with them, and the Greek government knows it.

A wild-card side-note on this one: if Deutsche Bank implodes and needs a bailout, bail-in or some combination of the two, it will serve as gasoline on that migration fire burning in Greece and the Balkans. Greece would then have every motivation in the world to open the flood gates to bury Germany and the EU.
